Data and MATLAB code for "Optimal Road-Cycling Descents under Non-Local Braking Constraints"

This repository contains the experimental cycling data, the centreline GPX file describing the measured descent geometry, a standalone source-data CSV file for Figure 4, and the MATLAB scripts accompanying the manuscript “The non-local mechanics of road-cycling descents”. The raw CSV files correspond to repeated coasting (F) and pedalling (P) trials performed by three cyclists (C1–C3). The MATLAB scripts reproduce (i) the analytical hairpin reference case and (ii) the measured-descent modelling results reported in the article. All other figures are intended to be regenerated from the raw data and the provided MATLAB code.
